Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 622: Time

"I won't allow you to do this!" Lucy took a step forward and said, "If you want to attack Alan, unless you kill me. But as long as you touch one of my fingers, your Federation will pursue it to the end."

As the empress of Adahua Planet, Lucy still had some weight. If it were anyone else, they would probably have retreated. Even if he was eager to kill Alan, he could only change the time and place. However, Catherine stood up, opened her hand, and the Scorpion Spear Snake Sickle jumped into her hand. The two strangely colored ponytails of the Major General fluttered without a breeze. If there was any real killing intent rushing towards Lucy, the campfire in front of him would be incomparably dimmed by her aura.

"I don't care" Catherine said softly.

She didn't even care about Lucy's identity, and everyone knew that there was no other way to get rid of her thoughts. Belmond's Night Hunter pattern lit up, and two red ribbons of light shot out from behind his shoulders. Regis, on the other hand, provoked the Iron Slash Execution Technique and lowered his center of gravity slightly, as if he was attacking with all his might.

The atmosphere in the mine was suffocating, and even the headhunters locked in the mine were no longer as desperate as before as they were to charge through the gates. At the moment when the battle was about to break out, Alan pushed Lucy aside and walked forward, appearing in the dim light of the fire. Ellen smiled bitterly at Catherine. "It seems like the general is determined to get me. Well, the natives are still waiting for someone from Castellan Rock to take over. Lucy and the others can't leave the mine for half a step, so I'm coming with you."

"Whatever you want." Katherine also straightforwardly put away her murderous intent and dragged her sickle away, "If you're planning to escape, you should know what will happen."

"I know."

Alan turned around and said, "Just like I said, you stay here and wait for the people from the base to come and take over. I'll go with her."

"No, you're not her match!" Lucy insisted.

'"The same goes for the four of us, against experts like Catherine. Unless she's willing to stay and fight to the death, there's no point in numbers. Even if she can't beat us, she can leave the battlefield and find another chance to kill us one by one." Alan shook his head and said, "I'd rather deal with her myself. You have to believe me. I won't be so easily killed by her."

"But why did she insist on killing you?" Asked Lucy, probably the biggest doubt in their hearts.

"It's a long story. I'll tell you when I get back." Alan picked up his backpack and said, "Give me all your first aid kits. I think I'll need them. You can exchange them for military service when you get back. Don't wait for me at the base. Remember to take on more missions like this. We'll talk about it after we get a military service."

Lucy said unhappily, "Now you still remember this."

Alan suddenly pulled her and kissed her on the forehead. "Don't worry, I'll be back. Don't tell anyone about Catherine. I have a hunch that things will change."

After saying that, he put his bag on his back and picked up Xue Yin, heading in the direction of Catherine. Catherine stood quietly at the entrance of the mine, if it wasn't for her military uniform, if it wasn't for the general on her shoulder. Right now, she was like a confused girl, but if anyone really thought that way, they would be in big trouble. Ellen wouldn't think so. Catherine had a similar experience. She, who had also lived with dangerous species for a period of time, could be considered Ellen's kind.

"Very good, you have no intention of escaping." Catherine said indifferently.

'"I'm not that stupid," Ellen said, spreading out her hands. "Then, Lord Catherine, how do you want to settle the matter between us?"

"From now on, you can call me by my name without adding any honorific title or rank." Catherine suddenly said, "You deserve it."

"Should I be flattered?"

"Whatever you want." Katherine apparently had no sense of humor. "I'm afraid I'll have to leave this place first," she said.

She didn't say anything, but Alan knew that Catherine was referring to Lucy and the others. If they had fought near the mine, Lucy and the others might have intervened in spite of Alan's decision, and Catherine would have probably done something to them by then.

The fragrant wind blew and Catherine flew into the forest. She pointed her toes and slid ten meters away, but she didn't even bring a single bit of snow with her. Allen looked in the direction of the mine, gritted his teeth, and followed behind Catherine. The two of them advanced towards the west of the holly forest at a constant speed of 60 kilometers per hour. More than an hour later, Catherine's speed gradually slowed down, and she finally changed to walking slowly on the snow.

"This place is already far enough." She said.

Alan stopped beside her and looked at her expressionless face. He couldn't help but say, "I don't understand why you must kill me. Even if you kill me and drink my blood, you might not see much benefit."

"Before I was ten years old, I thought I was a king snake, but my appearance was different." "I didn't know I was human until Russen took me out of the snake nest," Catherine replied nonchalantly. "Humans, compared to many dangerous species, are food. Although some of the books I've read say that humans stood at the top of the biological chain in the old days."

"Unfortunately, this is a brand new era. Those without strength are destined to be eaten. However, the way they eat is different." Catherine raised her face and looked at the hazy night sky above her head. "The humans of this era are no longer bound by the stars. We can explore anywhere in the universe freely. Everyday, new things are discovered and countless things are dying. If the old era is an era of information explosion, then this era is the era of information blowout. You will find that the universe is full of things, knowledge, and experience that are hard to grasp in a lifetime. "

"In my opinion, resources, strength, wealth are not worth pursuing. There is only one thing worth fighting for, worth risking your life for" Catherine looked at Allen. "Do you know what that is?"

Alan sighed, "It's time."

He had already grasped the main point of Catherine's words. The young major general rarely revealed a side full of wisdom. Even though she was called the God of Death, what Catherine was thinking about was beyond material things and simple slaughter, as if she was standing on the ground of a mortal.

But this made her even more terrifying. If she was just an executioner, even if her strength was higher than Allen's. It wasn't impossible for Alan to not have a chance to see him, because he knew that the more extreme a person was, the greater the flaws would be. Like irritable people, they are susceptible to excessive emotional fluctuations. But if Catherine's slaughter was no longer based on hobbies or interests, then she was more terrifying than any slaughter maniac. She would not be confused, angry, or flawless. She would only carry out the slaughter she deemed necessary with the precision of a machine.

Alan had met many terrifying people, and Russen was one of them. This Federation general was tyrannical, tyrannical, and arrogant. The darkness in his eyes was like a black hole that would devour a person's bones. Without a doubt, he was terrifying. But even such a terrifying man, compared to Catherine, who revealed her true self, Allen immediately felt that he was much cuter.

After all, no matter how terrifying Russen was, his actions were still filled with humanity. But Catherine Allen saw a machine, or a human-shaped king snake.

"That's right, it's time." Katherine shook her head and said, "Human life is too short. It's as short as a summer cicada. It takes a lifetime to sing and think that you've lived a brilliant life. But looking back, it's just a short summer. To the universe, this is not even a drop in the ocean. Sometimes, thinking about it makes you feel fear from the bottom of your heart."

"Even those who have already crossed the level of dominator, they welcome the most important secret love in their lives. The line of time was unknowingly stretched, but how much could it grow? Just like your teacher, she is indeed a genius. She was already crowded into the forest of top-notch combat power before she was even twenty years old, and was called the youngest female marshal in the history of the Federation. For her, life has only just begun, and she still has a lot of time to waste. "

"But even if her time is three or four times longer than an ordinary person's, so what? Hundreds of years of lifespan, in the universe, is a short moment before even matter can form. Not enough … To me, this is far from enough."

Katherine looked at Alan and said, "Time is the essence of the universe. When I realized this, I began to pursue the greatest wealth." However, in terms of life forms like humans, even Heaven's Path geniuses would only last for a few hundred years. Obviously, the pursuit of Origin Energy was necessary, but it was not the most important. If a human lifeform like this can't prolong life, then I'll have to find another way. "

Alan sighed, "The Black Twilight King Snake."

This was the beginning and the end of everything.

Catherine nodded and said, "Yes, it is." The King Snake, perhaps no one knew how such an ultimate form of life like the Black Twilight King Snake could appear on a low-level planet like Earth. In fact, no one knew much about this kind of life. They only got a theoretical infinite evolution and laughed. This was the case for humans. They refused to admit that they were not as advanced as a snake's life form. However, this was the case. The king snake's cells could evolve in response to the environment. "If death is also an'environment ', can they also surpass death?"

"Unfortunately, when I was about to study them, the last king snake on earth died at your hands. More dramatically, you also drank the king snake's blood. I believe this is the thread that binds your destiny together." Catherine's eyes blurred as if she were looking at a beautiful jewel girl. "I was sorry that I missed the King Serpent's blood because of Russen. When fate pushed you in front of me, I found that there was still hope."

"And now, seeing that you have grown to this level in such a short period of time, I know that the King Snake Blood does possess an unbelievable magic power. I can't wait to drink it!"josei
